Testimonials"Great documentary style fine art. All his work has a coherent style and perfect grain. He knows what he is trying to do, and he does it with style.." "i've been deeply affected by gareth's images. it goes without saying that they're beautiful, but i'm also overwhelmed by the sympathy, the insightfulness, and the generosity in them. i've been very inspired, thanks so much." "Gareth's photographs are a brilliant combination of personal intimacy and beautiful design. Gareth consistently integrates both of these important aspects of art into his work. Whether it is pictures taken in his own private world or out in the street they are personal and intimate. His pictures have a sense of light, mood, tension, isolation, composition and design that reinforces what is being said about the personal and fleeting moments of life. This is real street photography - street photography at its best." "Gareth is the F___ing man. He has gotten me to "think" about certain elements of photography more, and to appreciate the simple stuff. He's got an amazing eye, and adapts very well to any situation. I had a blast in Korea with him, getting drunk at 7-11 (or was it Family Mart?) was certainly a highlight of my year in south korea. I hope to meet up w/ Gareth in the not too distant future, it's always a pleasure." "i can't believe it's been about year since you've graced us with your presence i'm glad you didn't stay longer, 'cos i may packed our family overseas and did nothing but photography fulltime:) much love." "speak, memory. in gareth's images memory whispers instead, and he's listening hard. thank god gareth is taking notes for the rest of us." "i love all images captured by this guy, especially those pictures of Xi'an, where I grew up. He took angles of the city that people usually ignored, making the photos even more attractive!" "inside look into china and culture.. hes a certain stop when I do sign onto flickr.. best wishes always +" "whenever i see scribeoflight's photos pop up in my friends stream, i instantly know they're his. he plays with geometry, shadows, light and movement like no one else. time after time, he makes his photographs look effortlessly stunning. i sure hope i'm wrong about the 'effortless' part ;)" "Mysterious man, talented artist, extraordinary spirit. His photos are amusing and disturbing but never boring. Gareth, I would like to meet you one day..." "A prolific artist who takes ordinary scenes and uses light and shadows to create beautiful imagery. The stream is always a joy to view and learn from. The portraits are outstanding." "He was one of my first contacts and I enjoyed every photo of his. Delightful, interesting, thoughtful and sometimes just China :-). I can only recommend everyone who wants to know the life in China to have a look at his pictures! He just knows the way to capture life." "his style will get stuck in your head and you will find yourself recalling very specific photographs of his and wonder if maybe they were from a dream or maybe former life; they express so much emotion it feels as if you have lived it. he's a major inspiration for my night shots." "you just can't say with words how gareth's pictures of daily life in china are, the way he crops what he sees there is fantastic. great job man." "Gareth was one of my first Flickr contacts, and I'll be damned if he's not the most prolific one! I always look forward to seeing his stuff. He's been the one person on Flickr I've learned the most from. He's generous with his knowledge, and insightful with his comments. No question the man understands light, and knows how to spot combinations of light that most of us might not think twice about. Plus, he's shown me everyday (and everynight) glimpses of parts of the planet I may never visit. Extraordinary glimpses." "hey, youngman there,why you don't do nothing but TV game. go out and see another world, like scribeoflight,the-great-travler........i sometimes keep a close eye on his shots of street nobody,and become a brooder. a time i like." "I absolutley love Gareth's photostream. I first got hooked when he was travelling somewhere in Scandinavia - there are some real gems from Finland and Russia, and they're worth looking for. Everytime I look through, I find photos that just amaze me. Keep an eye on this one, he does really great stuff." "I think I caught on to Scribeoflight's photos while he was passing through Norway or so, but I've been loving the China street shots even more. Wonderful work!" |
